US gymnastics star Simone Biles won her fifth gold medal in the women's floor final Sunday to conclude her"best ever" world championships and take her career record to 25 medals.
The 22-year-old plans to celebrate when she gets back home to Texas, where"my mom usually likes to throw a world party -- whether I want one or not," she joked. "It meant a lot," said Biles of her gold on the beam. She had to settle for bronze in the event at the 2016 Olympics and last year's world championships in Doha.
This is the first time she has finished a world championships with five golds, but she has said she is"99 percent" sure Stuttgart will be her last. "She's incredible, she was here to do a job and she did exactly what she trained for," said Frenchman Landi. Russia's Nikita Nagornyy also stood out as one to watch in Tokyo next year by completing a hat-trick of gold medals, adding the men's vault title Sunday to his all-around and team success.
